These unbearably hot temperatures can be dangerous to the very young and the elderly.
Many people are expected to flock to the beach, given that today could very well be the hottest day of the year.
Even the water at the beach is up 76 degrees.
In Volusia County, a group called the Council on Aging is making sure the elderly are safe from the heat.
Today volunteers will go many of the area's senior citizen's homes to provide free meals with a service called Meals on Wheels.
But they also check on them to make sure they are not suffering from all this heat; making sure their fans and air conditioners are working.
If those volunteers see a problem, they report that issue right away to try to protect the elderly, who are even more vulnerable to high temperatures.
"We have a program called EHEAP; it's part of a federal and state program. EHEAP allows us to buy air conditioners for seniors if they need it, and we try to make sure that happens," said Doug Beach.
When asked if they typically come across those situations, Beach responded they have provided similar aid many times over the years.
On the beach Wednesday, lifeguards will be looking out for visitors who may be experiencing heat exhaustion, treating them with whatever they need to bring the body temperature back down.
Here again is that ice cream we set out.
You an see it's not holding up too well under current conditions…and temperatures out here are expected to get even hotter.
76 degree waters sound very inviting.
